Lenggries –
A cross-border avalanche operation exercise by the mountain rescue services in the Isarwinkel and Tyrol will take place this Saturday in the Schönalmjoch area in the Karwendel.
This is reported by the Lenggries mountain rescue service.
The Lenggries and Bad Tölz mountain rescue services as well as the local mountain rescue offices in Tyrol, Achenkirch and Maurach are taking part in the exercise.
A total of 60 emergency services are expected.
The exercise is also accompanied by units from the Alpine Task Force of the Bavarian State Police and the Bergwacht Hochland avalanche dog squad.

According to the announcement, two helicopters from the Bavarian State Police and the Tyrol Aviation Police will be in use to achieve the exercise scenario.
An avalanche with several buried people is practiced.
“An exercise in the area of the national border in particular is very interesting and important for the rescuers, as communication using digital radio is a challenge.”

Digital radio is now installed across the board in Austria and Germany, but the operating networks and radio groups cannot be used across countries.
To ensure collaboration in an emergency, separate radio concepts must be used.
The mountain rescue services involved ask for your understanding for any aircraft noise that may occur.
